New Delhi, March 8 : Rider Fouaad Mirza, the first Indian to qualify for the Olympic Games after 20 years, is facing an unprecedented situation as his mare, Dajara 4 , is in a long quarantine in Germany due to an outbreak of Equine Herpes Virus among horses across Europe from last month.
The virus impacts the health of the horses, and that is a worrying factor for the equestrian community. Since Mirza has to ride Dajara 4 at the Tokyo Olympic Games, starting on July 23, he is taking all precautionary measures for the safety of his mare.
